Chevron Corp. Chief Financial Officer Pierre Breber rebuked employees for failing to deliver on several key performance metrics in 2023, a year in which the stock lagged Big Oil peers.

“We can — and must — do better by focusing on what we can control,” Breber said in an email to staff earlier this month seen by Bloomberg. “We’ve delivered industry-leading performance before, and we will do it again with consistent and disciplined execution.”
